Gibson is arguably the king of the guitar world, having produced countless classic instruments.
It is beloved by countless top artists, including Steve Howe, Pat Metheny, and Izzy Stradlin.
The ES-135 was introduced by Gibson in 1956.
Production of the ES-135 ceased in 1958. After many years, a reissue model with significantly revised specifications was produced in 1991.
This model is a reissue of that ES-135, manufactured in 2002.
It shares the same 16-inch body size and shape as Gibson's signature ES-175, but with a slightly thinner body.
Furthermore, like the ES-335, it features a rarely seen semi-acoustic construction with a center block.
The body is made of classic maple.
Like the ES-175, it is made of plywood rather than solid wood, which controls the resonance of the body and improves resistance to feedback.
The archtop body with F-holes and sunburst finish create a classic look that's sure to appeal to anyone.
The neck is made of three-piece maple and the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
The pickups are Gibson '57 Classic in the neck and bridge.
This is a long-selling Gibson model that has been loved for many years as a replica of the humbucking pickup, commonly known as the PAF, developed by Seth Lover.
The ES-135 primarily uses a P100 pickup, making this a rare model with the '57 Classic.
The sound is thick and sweet, yet also tight.
The semi-hollow construction and thin body make it resistant to feedback, so you can play it with distortion.
This is a rare model that is no longer in production.
Don't miss this opportunity!
Approximately 80% of the frets remain.
The truss rod works and the neck is in good condition.
The body and finish show signs of overall use.
The binding is slightly burnt, and there are scratches on the pickguard and metal parts.
The tuning machines have been replaced with Grover keystone button type machines.
